AMD RADEON R9 200 SERIES DRIVER 18.8.2 DRIVERS

All existing GPUs were tested with Nvidia's 399.07 and AMD's 18.8.2 drivers (the latest available in late August and early September), while the GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti were tested with the newer 411.51 drivers released last Friday.ДЄll the recent graphics cards are 'reference' models where possible. A few key points are that the Core i7-8700K is overclocked to 5.0GHz, taking the already fastest gaming CPU and pushing it to new levels-all in the attempt to minimize CPU bottlenecks on the graphics cards. All testing was done using the testbed equipment shown in the boxout to the right. Cue the drumrollвЂ¦.ДЇor the launch of the GeForce RTX 20 Ti, I've gone back and retested every card you see in the charts. Ideally, we would want at least a 50 percent boost to performance relative to the GTX 1080, and 15-20 percent better performance than the GTX 1080 Ti. It's also $100 more than the current 1080 Ti MSRP and $150 more than the lowest priced GTX 1080 Ti. $799 is $100 more than the 1080 launch price, $250 more than the current $549 1080 FE MSRP, and a whopping $330 more than the current lowest price on a GTX 1080 custom card. That's a lengthy discussion of past pricing, but it's important for context because the GeForce RTX 2080 Founders Edition ushers in higher pricing than we've ever seen on a consumer-centric part. Then the GTX 1080 Ti took over the $699 spot and pushed the 1080 down to the current $499/$549 MSRP. Prices crept north again on the 10-series parts, with GTX 1080 launching at $699 for the Founders Edition, and custom cards with a starting price of $599 available a couple of months later. Nine months later the GTX 980 Ti (GM200) was revealed, at 'just' $649, a downsized version of the $999 GTX Titan X. GTX 980 (Maxwell GM204) came out in 2014, at a price of $549. The 900-series cards followed a similar pattern to the 700-series, with a few minor changes.

The GeForce RTX 2080 Founders Edition ushers in higher pricing than we've ever seen on a consumer-centric part. The Kepler era also saw the creation of the first Titan cards, with a new $999 target. The 700-series saw the return of the Ti branding, with the GTX 780 Ti in late 2013 unveiled at $699, pushing the old 780 back to the $499 target.

Then the GTX 680 (Kepler GK104) in 2012 also stuck with a $500 price point, but the GTX 780 (Kepler GK114) moved pricing north to $649. Over the past several generation of GPU architectures, Nvidia's x80 cards have been the initial halo product, followed in most cases by a later x80 Ti variant.
